This is aluminum so its heavier than the plastic parts. Although I don't notice the weight difference.

Kinda a pain to install because you need to use the kit they provide (not quality other than the aluminum parts). The drive cone doesn't sit well, you can hear it hitting the plastic as it spins if you are at an angle. Ive tried to fix it by adding washers but nothing really fixed the issue.

Seems to feed balls well though, and the rip drive is awesome looking. For the price, I am not really complaining. I will update this when I play with it on the field.
